Duffy-ing the day away


I don't know how we survived before Groupon, Living Social, Facebook Deals, and oh yeah, Screaming Daily Deals.  My social life is all about the deal.

Oh, the thing u c on the way to the pool...

...that's right:  a vulture.

Weekend round-up - so far

Friday night sailing.  Took Josh to the bar at 333 to meet-up with the guys from work.  Good times.

Saturday:  More Josh sailing.  Watched him put on an impressive dry capsizing clinic.  Pretty cool.  Took a pontoon boat ride through newport harbor.  Gym - still going, same gut.  Took JnJ to see the local high school production of Fiddler.  Actually quite good and the kiddos seemed to enjoy it.

Sunday - breakfast at Proud Mary's.  Had the avocado and mushroom omelet.  And a bloody.  Chillaxing with the papers and old man show.

Todays lesson: Whirling Dervishes

The Mevlevi Order, or the Mevlevilik or Mevleviye (Persianمولويه - Molavīyeh) are a Sufi order founded in Konya (in present-day Turkey) by the followers of Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Balkhi-Rumi, a 13th century Persian poet, Islamic jurist, and theologian. They are also known as the Whirling Dervishes due to their famous practice of whirling as a form of dhikr (remembrance of God). Dervish is a common term for an initiate of the Sufi path; the whirling is part of the formal Sema ceremony and the participants are properly known as semazen-s.

Yesterday, good breakfast on the timeshare side. No we didn't buy one. Costco lunch by the pool. Dinner at Panchos. Looking for Dalesandros everywhere we go.

Today, back to the Office. Later, sushi sendoff at Nik-San. Tomorrow, back to reality. Reality blows.
